Prune Confections 



"PRUNES, dried and sugared in Stras- 

 ■■• berg, France, and on sale at confec- 

 tionery stores in Germany at 40 marks a 

 pound, are most delicious, according to 

 Dr. F. A. Magruder, associate professor 

 in political science at the Oregon Agricul- 

 tural college, who, accompanied by Mrs. 

 Magruder, spent the summer in Europe. 

 The price, equal approximately to 50 cents 

 a pound in American money, is a little 

 high for the German pocketbook at the 

 present time, he says, which keeps the con- 

 fection from being as popular as it would 

 be at a lower price. 



In Oregon, however. Dr. Magruder 

 sees no reason why prunes cannot be made 

 a very popular confection. The European 

 recipe might well be copied, he thinks, 

 and thereby create a much larger demand 

 for the Oregon prune crop. 



Figs and prunes boiled separately and 

 served together, and prunes stewed with 

 cinnamon bark, are other w.iys of prepar- 

 ing the fruit which Dr. Magruder found 

 in Europe and on the boat. He brought 

 a sample of the prune confection back to 

 Oregon Agricultural college and delivered 

 it over to the horticultural department 

 that it might be examined and the advis- 

 ability of its preparation made known. 



Longer Life For Tractors 



Wagons, Silos 



and Farm Implements 



PROPER paint protection 

 will preserve your farm 

 tractors, vehicles, silos and va- 

 rious agricultural implements 

 and machinery. Such protec- 

 tion is vitally important to you 

 because it is economical. 



Constant exposure to all kinds 

 of weather tends to materially 

 deteriorate the usefulness of all 

 farm implements and buildings. 

 A protective coat of good paint 

 will make them last longer, look 

 better. 



Buy Good Paint 



Always buy the best paint — 

 it is more economical — it costs 

 less in the end. 



Good paint is easier to spread 



and so goes farther. Besides it 

 lasts five or more years longer 

 than cheap paint, and always 

 looks better. 



So when you figure labor, 

 square yards co'vered, lasting 

 tjualilirs and appearance, cheap 

 paint is a great deal more ex- 

 pensive than good paint. It 

 pays to invest 

 in quality, when 

 quality means 

 economy. 



Remember 

 that Fuller 

 makes a "spe- 

 cial paint for 

 every purpose." 

 No matter what 

 you have that 

 needs painting there is a Fuller 

 product made to cover it.
